My second assessment visit had many similarities and differences to the first visit. There were not as many kids, because most of the girls had gone away to their basketball game. Today, I was able to work with the group of 6th graders that were present, and surprisingly I didn’t know as many as I do now. I started my visit with the regular organization clean up, sign everyone in, and set up the nets routine. We played a game called King of the Court where you try to move to the highest court, Court 1. During this session, there were many disagreements where I had to step in and keep track of the score to quiet down the quarrelling. On some occasions, a court wouldn’t know who had won, or just said they won when they weren’t sure, so I solved the problem by having the two opposing teams have a match point to see who would move up or down a court. Some students thought this was unfair, but since no one would admit that they had lost or decided to be lazy and not keep score, it was a problem solver and a bit of a “wake up” signal to make sure that they paid more attention in the next game. Besides that, everyone seemed to enjoy him or herself, including me and the teachers who didn’t have to work so hard with me stepping in to assist them. Over all, I feel satisfied with my work today, but I didn’t get the special feeling that I had during my first visit. Hopefully Thursday I will be more proud of my assessment work in the P.E. class.
